Objections Rise Over Official Language Resolution
Eight Amherst and Lorain residents told City Council they opposed a panel plan to oppose a state bill making English the official language of Ohio. They feared Spanish could become primary due to the growing Hispanic population. Council President Higgins said English as official language is acceptable if scholastic bilingual programs and related funding are unaffected. The panel sent the measure to second reading by 6-1 with Jim Gammons dissenting. The council also approved pay authority for fire hazard or catastrophe response teams to handle emergencies such as toxic waste cleanup.
